Opened in 1861 by the Shrewsbury & Welshpool Railway on the line between those places, this line was jointly owned by the Great Western and London & North Western Railway. The station closed to passengers in 1960 and completely in 1964. View north east towards Shrewsbury, from approximately the same position as Image, taken some 23 years earlier. The old station house has disappeared in the meantime and a new row of houses been built.
